Chapter 760: Chapter 760
Zhang Yang stared at Gao Jie with malicious intent, “Do you really think I can’t see that your energy is completely depleted?”
“Do you think I’d give you a chance to turn the tide in a situation like this?”
Zhang Yang knew that, for Gao Jie, he was the only potential breakthrough point.
The truth was about to be revealed, and Zhang Yang was determined to find out who had sent Gao Jie and also uncover the Xu Family’s leader.
Speaking of surprises, Zhang Yang was genuinely caught off guard when he saw Xu Guangzhi coming over earlier.
Initially, Xu Guangzhi’s attitude hadn’t been particularly cooperative; he seed unwilling to get too involved.
This made Zhang Yang suspect whether Xu Guangzhi was involved in the situation or knew sothing about it.
But after observing him closely, it seed Zhang Yang might have been overthinking.
Gao Jie hadn’t expected Zhang Yang to be so stubborn in his replies. With mbers of the Harmonious Society Supervision Association surrounding them, any tactics to pressure Zhang Yang were now impossible.
But then, what else could he do?
The situation was at an impasse, yet on the other side, Fourth Brother Zhao wasn’t having it easy either.
Initially, Fourth Brother Zhao thought the 24-hour mark had already passed, and Zhang Yang must have confessed by now, allowing him to walk free soon.
But to his dismay, he was greeted not with freedom, but with the arrival of two big figures—Guo Qiyu and Xu Guangzhi.
As a scoundrel of the Martial World, Fourth Brother Zhao obviously knew all about these two individuals’ identities and thods. What he hadn’t anticipated was ending up in their hands.
“What do you want from ? I’ve already confessed everything,” Fourth Brother Zhao said, cautious and on edge.
Guo Qiyu asked coldly, “What exactly have you confessed?”
“I’ve confessed to running illegal gambling operations and other shady ventures. Plus, I admitted to abusing Lin Fucheng and his mother.”
“I know my punishnt will probably only be three years for this.”
“So I don’t have anything else to add, let’s just wrap it up quickly.”
Guo Qiyu sneered, “Three years? You’re quite naive. What about the people you’ve killed? And those who committed suicide because of you?”
“Killed? I haven’t killed anyone! Don’t falsely accuse !” Fourth Brother Zhao’s heart sank, anxiety surging through him.
“As for those suicides—what does that have to do with ? If they chose to kill themselves, that’s their issue. How does it concern ? Should I have stopped them sohow?”
Clearly, Fourth Brother Zhao was starting to panic.
And panic, he must. The murders he committed had been carefully concealed—and it had been so many years ago.
There was no reason for it to resurface now.
Without wasting ti, Guo Qiyu presented the evidence directly. Seeing the comprehensive proof, Fourth Brother Zhao knew he was finished. Moreover, he realized soone close to him had betrayed him.
“Ha! This is truly amusing, ridiculously amusing!”
“Zhang Yang—not bad, truly impressive.”
Fourth Brother Zhao understood it had been Zhang Yang’s situation that led soone to target him.
They’d dug up the people in his circle, leaving nothing untouched.
Many of the incidents were things Fourth Brother Zhao himself had almost forgotten, but now, everything was laid bare.
Who had such energy? Fourth Brother Zhao knew this could not possibly have been pulled off by the Harmonious Society Managent Association alone.
At this mont, Guo Qiyu asked, “Do you have anything else to say? Additionally, do you have any updates on the Lin Fucheng case?”
Fourth Brother Zhao suddenly sneered coldly, “No, Lin Fucheng was killed by Zhang Yang. Ha-ha, I’d like to see how much Zhang Yang can handle!”
Xu Guangzhi hadn’t expected Fourth Brother Zhao to stand his ground stubbornly.
“Alright then, I hope your subordinates are as tight-lipped as you are.”
Fourth Brother Zhao looked grim but gritted his teeth and refused to budge.
After dismissing Fourth Brother Zhao, Liu Qingxia was brought in next.
Xu Guangzhi and Guo Qiyu exchanged a aningful glance, as they both knew Liu Qingxia was the only person, apart from the mastermind, who knew the real killer.
Liu Qingxia had to have seen it firsthand; otherwise, he wouldn’t have described the death of Lin Fucheng in such vivid detail.
But in Liu Qingxia’s story, Zhang Yang had always been the killer.
“Why are you questioning again? I want to go ho. I want to see my son.”
“Liu Qingxia, are you certain Zhang Yang is the killer? Did you clearly see everything?”
Liu Qingxia imdiately broke into hysterics, “It was him! It was him! He killed my son! He has to pay for what he did!”
Guo Qiyu declared firmly, “But according to our investigation, the killer wasn’t Zhang Yang. When your son died, Zhang Yang was already gone. He has a solid alibi.”
“You’re lying! You’re protecting the real killer! Why are you doing this?”
Under Guo Qiyu’s intense questioning, Liu Qingxia seed increasingly panicked, vigorously shaking his head, “I’m not lying! I’m not!”
Xu Guangzhi spoke up: “How much money did they promise you? And do you really think they’ll let you keep it? The only reason you’re safe now is because you’re at the Harmonious Society Managent Association Center.”
“The mont you step out of the Harmonious Society Managent Association Center, they’ll ensure you’re silenced permanently.”
“That way, they won’t have to pay you, and they’ll never have to worry about their secrets being exposed again.”
Liu Qingxia wasn’t like Fourth Brother Zhao. Facing Xu Guangzhi and Guo Qiyu’s joint interrogation, he began to unravel.
“No… I can’t say it. If I do, they’ll kill anyway.” Liu Qingxia’s face was awash with terror.
Xu Guangzhi and Guo Qiyu exchanged an excited glance—they could tell Liu Qingxia was finally about to spill the truth.
“Liu Qingxia, only by telling us will we know who’s threatening you.”
“Do you really want to let the real murderer who killed your son walk free and still risk letting them harm you next?”
Liu Qingxia exclaid, “No! You can’t protect ! I can’t tell you! I don’t know anything! The person who killed my son is Zhang Yang—as long as I say that, they won’t hurt .”
“Yes, yes, it’s Zhang Yang! Ha-ha!”
Seeing Liu Qingxia’s increasingly deranged state, Xu Guangzhi and Guo Qiyu were taken aback. They quickly called for a doctor to administer a sedative.
If not, Liu Qingxia might have suffered a complete ntal breakdown.
Who were the people that scared Liu Qingxia to this extent?
But for now, one thing was clear—the killer wasn’t Zhang Yang. Liu Qingxia remained a crucial breakthrough point.
They’d have to turn their strategy back to Fourth Brother Zhao and Gao Jie.
After discussing their next steps, Guo Qiyu and Xu Guangzhi decided to interrogate Fourth Brother Zhao again.
This ti, however, their effort produced little result. Fourth Brother Zhao seed even calr than before, denying even the previous murder evidence.
This left both Guo Qiyu and Xu Guangzhi with an uneasy sense that sothing wasn’t quite right.
